1. movable property; movables; personal property
Property other than land and buildings — cash, vehicles, machinery, inventory, furniture. A legal and accounting term defined by contrast with 不動産(ふどうさん) (real property).
車(くるま)は動産(どうさん)にあたる。
A car counts as movable property.
動産(どうさん)と不動産(ふどうさん)では手続(てつづ)きが異(こと)なる。
The procedures differ for movable and immovable property.
在庫(ざいこ)や機械(きかい)などの動産(どうさん)を担保(たんぽ)にして融資(ゆうし)を受(う)けた。
They obtained financing using movable assets such as inventory and machinery as collateral.

In Japanese civil law, 不動産(ふどうさん) means land and anything fixed to it; everything else is 動産(どうさん). The distinction matters because ownership of real property is transferred by registration, while movables normally pass by delivery.
